Answer:

95% confidence interval for the proportion of the adults who were opposed to the death penalty is (0.668, 0.704).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a survey asked whether respondents favored or opposed the death penalty for people convicted of murder. Software shows the results below, where X refers to the number of the respondents who were in favor.

X = 1,790

N = 2,610

\hat p = Sample proportion = X/N = 0.6858

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population proportion  is given by;

     P.Q. = \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion = 0.6858

           n = sample of respondents = 2,610

           p = population proportion

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population​ proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at

                                   2.5% level of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < {\hat p-p} < 1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } < p < \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for p</u> = [ \hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } , \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }]

  = [ 0.6858-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.6858(1-0.6858)}{2610} } , 0.6858+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.6858(1-0.6858)}{2610} } ]

  = [0.668 , 0.704]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of the adults is (0.668, 0.704).
